Redeemer

How does one rate this movie...based on choreography and the fight scemes 8.....based on acting 3, script 5, production and cinematography 6, and add that up, it gets a solid 5.....still barely watchable. Oh well

Ok, first of all: this is big nonsense(!) movie made just for entertaining and I spent 4Eur on prime to see people get beaten and killed by other :)

3 * for that! -1 for cutting best scenes Review: Marko Zaror looks great, he's not Scott Adkins and there is no reach for undisputed series. 2 * for him.

Plot: There is no plot.

Film: Film is quite straight and nothing really happens. Unfortunately Zaror wasn't allowed to say more than like 3 words for 90 min.

Next time: more Zaror, less nothing. +1 * to save this chance

First of i want to make it clear that i only watch this movie because the main character Marko Zaror will face off with Scott Adkins one of my favorite martial artist/actor in the upcoming Savage Dog and you guys know what this movie indeed a little surprise.I may not familiar with some of Marko older stuff but with this movie i finally know what this guy capable of and it bloody awesome.With the title like Redeemer you may think it had a heavily religious aspect but in the other hand it quite a violent action movie with a very depressing theme.The action scene is very well choreographed with some of the best hitting sound i see in this kind of movie,every time Marko show up on screen his charm and badassness always caught me off guard when he slay enemies room to room leaving a bloody mess behind.The negative for this movie is although he really good at fighting but he terribly at cover up the trace lead up to the death of many people he saved which i find very dumb and stupid.The bad guys is also very annoying when the movie always cut back to a American drug dealer that keep making unfunny joke and a guy that support to be the big thread to the main character but he barely show up until the final fight and in some flashback scene to remind the viewer how bad he is

(2014) Redeemer (In Spanish with English subtitles) ACTION

Co-written, edited and directed by Ernesto Díaz Espinoza, starring Marko Zaror, he plays the title character "Redeemer" coming to the aid of a local community fisherman, Agustin (Mauricio Diocares) in Chile. As gangsters are after him, we find out later, when they learned he found a bagful of money while he was fishing. At the same time, Agustin's sister, Antonia want to use the money to pay for his son's expensive heart operation, putting the Redeemer's plans on hold. The Redeemer of course, used to have a shady past as viewers see in brief flashbacks shown throughout the movie, as he used to have a proper name as Nicky Pardo and how he got to be called "Redeemer" in the first place. As it is somehow connected to another deadly, ruthless killer, Alacrán nicknamed as "Scorpion" played by José Luís Mósca.

Because the star Marko Zaror, himself is 6'2 that it can be hard to accept him as an actual fighter on film, but there are nicely staged fight scenes mixed with some gun battles.

Redeemer (2014) is fantastic.

It is missing the Hollywood bells and whistles, and has a low production cost, but that does not make a movie watchable.

This movie is watchable and has a somewhat mysterious hero. We see glimpses of his past as the movie unfolds, to see what made him the Redeemer.

This is a solid action movie, which I always search for. I want those awesome 80's action flicks back. Small budget gems like Perfect Weapon and No Retreat, No Surrender 1-3 and so on.

This movie while not in the same vain, as it is somewhat serious throughout, makes me happy that Chile, can produce movies, that Hollywood forgot how to make. The acting is okay, but we are here for the really nice fight scenes. Very well done!

I gave it a 8.5 out of 10! Very surprised and happy I gave it a shot, and you should too.
